The girls look fine but Cabba looks off. His manga SSJ look is pretty good. His manga look in general is better than his anime look. The worst part of Cabba is he comes off as a basic design, almost like a "create-a-character". I think it's his stock hair design that he shares with Gohan, Tarble, and Future Warror from the Xenoverse marketing.jjgp1112 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 15, 2021 9:39 pm I dislike all of the overly thin U6 Saiyan designs. I'm not saying make them look like roided up late-Frieza saga Goku but that rail-thin aesthetic is oversaturated in anime and i hate how it looks on general principle.
Something like this (credit Tazior1 on twitter):
Is more reasonable.
Worst character design?

Re: Worst character design?
It's not surprising, but it's still a bland design.super michael wrote: ↑Tue Jun 15, 2021 2:41 pm To be fair that is two C17 fusing, two characters that looks identical. It isn't surprising that Super 17 doesn't look that different.
I think there was room to play around with the concept.
Like, isn't Hell Fighter 17 supposed to be a Machine Mutant? Why not use that as a jumping off point to give him a more inhuman appearance? It would make the resulting Super 17's appearance stand out more after he fuses with the original 17.
And if you wanted to keep HF 17 physically close to the original in appearance, you could at least, say, give him a palette swap based on the color scheme of General Rildo or even Luud (Luud's color scheme in particular would make him look really creepy, especially if you gave him Luud's eye color). Perhaps make this altered color scheme his "true" form while he maintains the original's appearance as a disguise.

No the chins weren't the problem.
"We became like friends, we became like good friends." Broly to Cheelai and Lemo about his fur pelt.

Nakatsuru loves his chins.

Re: Worst character design?
All I'm saying is that 11-year-old Gohan looked like this:
"Well the U6 saiyans didn't spend a straight year training!"
Well then maybe they shouldn't have been super saiyans.

Re: Worst character design?
Universe 6 Saiyan barely has experience with Super Saiyan 1, yet they managed to gain Super Saiyan 2 just because. They didn’t even master their Super Saiyan 1 form.Cursed Lemon wrote: ↑Thu Jun 17, 2021 1:15 am All I'm saying is that 11-year-old Gohan looked like this:

Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Gotenks and Future Trunks all got experience as a Super Saiyan 1 along with mastering their form before gaining Super Saiyan 2.

How did Goten and Trunks become Super Saiyans again?

Re: Worst character design?
Nobody knows, but at least in their case, it can be justified as them inheriting the SSJ traits of Goku and Vegeta.
Caulifla and Kale made SSJ to be a complete joke.

Re: Worst character design?
I’m pretty sure Super Saiyan became a complete joke when Goten and Trunks casually became Super Saiyans as children.
Or when Goku revealed there is a level beyond the level beyond Super Saiyan and grew Raditz hair.
Re: Worst character design?
*9/10 year old Gohan. Gohan definitely looked older for his age though. That image makes him look even older than 11.Cursed Lemon wrote: ↑Thu Jun 17, 2021 1:15 am All I'm saying is that 11-year-old Gohan looked like this:

Dragon Ball was always a kid series and fans should stop being in denial.
Re: Worst character design?
GT has a lot of awful designs. Mutchy Motchi, Ruudo who looks like a giant robot baby, Súper 17, most of the Shadow Dragons.
Dr Myuu isn't bad per se but it's pretty much space Dr. Gero, which I understand that's what he was but they could've been a little more creative with the design.

Re: Worst character design?
Not that those didn't undermine the SSJ perquisite but what Caulifla and Kale doubled on the mockery.

Re: Worst character design?
In anime filler. In the Boo arc of the manga it says Gohan was 16 and it’s been 7 years since Cell. Ergo he was 9 in the Cell saga.
Re: Worst character design?
He is ten. Born in AGE 757, the later part of Cell saga is in AGE 767.
To fix this, Majin Buu saga takes place before Gohan's birthday. He's sixteen, but will turn seventeen later that same year.

Re: Worst character design?
Goten and Trunks were born from parents that had Super Saiyan unlocked, unlike Caulifla, Kale, Cabba and Future Trunks.
Goten and Trunks are the first Saiyan born from Super Saiyan parents.
Goten and Trunks had to train hard to unlock Super Saiyan 2 and 3 for their fusion, while Caulifla and Kale gained Super Saiyan 2/Legendary Super Saiyan without training.
